 All right, good morning everyone and good morning to our students online as well All right, so let's begin this time with a word of prayer and then we'll get into our class Father we thank you for this time and Lord even as we study your word Father we pray that your Holy Spirit will minister to us and we will know who we are in you our identity our Authority and Lord we pray that you will Lord enable each one of us to walk in this Identity to walk in this power that you have placed upon each of our lives of God We thank you Lord. We pray that our hearts will be ready and grounded in your word The seeds that are sown in our heart will bear fruit in our lives a God in Jesus name we pray amen amen All right, so Last week or last class we talked about Chapter with quite a few chapters we did chapter 10 11 and 12 if I'm not wrong right then 11 and 12 We did we talked about how We are in Christ not because of anything that we have done But it is because of what Jesus did for us So it's not a work that we have to do but Jesus himself did it for us And we also saw that we are created in Christ meaning when Second Corinthians 5 17 says when anyone is in Christ is a new creation So this creation is not like Jesus is taking something old and making it new but he's giving us Life eternal. He's giving us a new spirit. So what the old spirit? Was there our old spirit the spirit that was always, you know, desiring the things of the flesh is gone away And now the new spirit the spirit of God that God puts into us Desires the things of the spirit, right? So let's pick up from chapter 13 And again, I as I always say if you have questions in between feel free to stop me and Those online as well. You can feel free to post your questions. You can also unmute and ask your questions All right Let's go to chapter 3 God's Holy Spirit baptized us into Christ Now let's look at this word baptized, right? There are two kinds of baptism and we learn more about it later on as well. What are the two kinds of baptisms? What a baptism man? Holy Spirit baptism very good, right? Very good. So there's the what a baptism and the Holy Spirit baptism, right? Now God's Holy Spirit baptized us into Christ Right, let's read first Corinthians chapter 12 and verse 13 Go ahead four by one spirit We were all baptized into one body whether Jews or Greeks Whether slaves or free and have all been made to drink into one spirit Yeah, now again This the book of Corinthians is written You know a good student of God's word will always understand the context of Scripture Why is Paul writing this? Because we know that in Corinth there was divisions among the believers Now Paul is saying whether you are a Jew whether you are a gentle whether you're a free whether you're a slave whoever you are We are baptized into one body and We have all made to drink that one spirit So whether whichever background we are from it is the same Holy Spirit that is working It is the same Holy Spirit that Regenerated us. So for example, we are making the prayer. We're saying Lord Jesus come into my heart Make me a new person. I want to give I want to let go of all my sins. I want to live a good life I want to live a life holy and I want to please you I want to obey your word the moment we accept the Lord Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit Does the regeneration? inside us Right now who's that Holy Spirit? It is the same the third person in the Trinity, right? So this Holy Spirit does not change It is not like, you know, God is going to say, oh, this person is a rich man So we'll send a greater Holy Spirit and this person is okay Or this person is going to become a great evangelist or a great Apostle of God. So we'll send them a better Holy Spirit. No It is the same Holy Spirit that does the regeneration Are you getting what I'm saying? Right. So all of us In this entire world, whoever are believers, it is the same Holy Spirit that has done the regeneration Now we must understand when the Lord Jesus looks at us as believers He does not see Methodist, Pentecost, Baptist Believer church, unbeliever church, he doesn't see all that When the Lord Jesus sees us, he sees us as one body Right, everyone say one body One body, right? He doesn't see denominations He doesn't see caste Religion language He doesn't see the way we worship God No, these church worship was very good. This church worship is too much of sound No, he's not gonna say you see all that when the Lord Jesus sees us. He sees us as one body Why does he see us like that because we are all bought into one spirit We come into Christ through one spirit Right now in the natural There may be different styles different, you know, what works in villages and towns the worship is different And in the city it's different Preaching in the city is different preaching in villages are different, right? But when the Lord Jesus sees us with one body We all are going to stand in one ground Level ground Okay I've said this before we can be a great evangelist or we can just be a believer for one year And the Lord Jesus sees us. He sees both of us the same Nobody's higher. Nobody's greater But the rewards are different When he looks at us, we have one body He's not going to look at this and that. No, that is man made here. We will see right Oh your Methodist your Pentecost your Baptist your Presbyterian you are this your that When the Lord Jesus sees it's one body Bought by the blood of Jesus Jesus doesn't want to complicate things And we we complicated But when Jesus sees it, it's one body You you you accepted Jesus as your personal savior. You're washed by the blood of Jesus. That's it Your identity is changed you're baptized into the body of Christ Now after that we begin to learn we begin to understand we begin to grow There are some things we'll have to undo. There are some things we'll have to learn to do Right, and so when we see this he the when we say baptize, what is the first thing that comes to our mind? When we say baptize, sorry immersed Yes, right Water baptism all of your water baptize most of you all at least. Yeah, what did the pastor do? Water and put on your face What did he do? Did he take water bottle and pour water on your head? But he immersed you fully He made sure that you're into the water and you've come out. That is the word called baptize It's called baptismal to immerse fully Right now when you and I Are become believers Jesus the Holy Spirit. We are baptized. We are immersed Into his body Baptized into Christ And who does that the Holy Spirit? right He hooked us and he immersed us into the body of Christ that is he brought us Into union with Christ He was separated but now After we become believers the Holy Spirit brought us into union with Christ So that means what? That's why let's read this portion In the book of romans Let me just look find that portion Romans Paul is writing to the romans and he's explaining to them about Being baptized Yeah, romans chapter Five Or no romans chapter six I'm just going to read a few portions here, right verse two onwards We died to sin. How can we live in it any longer? Or don't you know That all of us were baptized Into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death We were therefore Buried with him through baptism Into death in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the father We too may have a new life. So when When when we hear he's talking about water baptism, right when we are water baptized we identify with the death The burial and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ now Here we're talking about how when the Lord Jesus when we become believers Jesus brings us in union And through that spirit you and I can call him above father in the old testament Is there any place where The Jews have called God the father Father Is there a place where they called him father? in the old covenant Why because there was a separation Right, he was always Jehovah Jehovah the Lord of hosts El Shaddai The god of israel, you know history says that you know when When the scribes, you know scribes, right, they would write the Scriptures the law they would write it down every time the word Jehovah comes they will stop They'll go they'll wash their hands. They'll wash their face. They'll clean themselves and write that word Jehovah There's so much of honor and reverence because that is God The god of moses the god of Abraham the god of Isaac the god of jacob We can call him father Is God Now many years later Jesus, what is he saying the disciples are saying Teach us how to pray We don't know how to pray. Teach us to pray. What does Jesus say? What does he say our father Now the beginning see when we read it. No, we may not understand our father, but for the Jews Our father Jesus you're saying that God of Abraham Isaac you're saying he's your father Now a father and son relationship is how it's a loving relationship. It's a close relationship Right. It's a it's a oneness Now Jesus is teaching us this I'm saying when you pray pray our father who art in heaven Now the disciples who have thought no, no, no They're talking about God Jesus is saying yes, why because if we go on later on Let's read this Romans chapter 8 was 15 Right, I'm going to read this for you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear But you received a spirit of sonship And by him we cry Abba So Jesus was giving them some practice Your practice praying this way because there will come a time The Holy Spirit will work in your life and because of the Holy Spirit you'll no longer fear God You know be scared about you know God you don't fear him, but there will be A Sonship spirit of sonship And with that spirit you can call him Abba father So when you and I as believers Accept the Lord. What does the Lord Jesus do? He immerses us. He submerges us Into union with him So the question is now Are we in union with him? Yes or no Are we immersed with him? Are we? With Christ right now Yes Now we may feel we are not with Christ Right and remember the gospel is not about feeling Is it about feeling the gospel the message of Jesus is not about feeling it's about faith Right now I may not have prayed I may not have spent time in the word of God I feel I'm very far away from God and I feel oh if I go pray now God will ask me why I didn't pray You know so many months over you didn't pray you did so many sins. Why did you do this? So we stay away, but that's not what the bible says when we are believers That moment the Holy Spirit brings us in union with Christ That will not change Right if you look at scriptures everywhere Jesus said hey, I'll never leave you I'll never forsake you The book of Isaiah he says As far as the east is from the west I have forgotten your transmission The problem is we try to remind God God actually three months. I didn't pray God is I'm not asking you that Did I ask you? I'm looking at what you can be ahead. I'm not looking at what you have done before But I'm looking at what you can do ahead Imagine the disciples Jesus is crucified three and a half years. He was with the disciples have been with Jesus Nobody is there When he meets Peter after Jesus's resurrection, he meets the apostle Peter. What does Peter say? Oh He didn't he he he rushed to Jesus. He jumped out of the boat. He went to Jesus What did Jesus say sit down? Let me talk to you Did he say that Did Jesus say now When I was carrying the cross, where were you? Then I was the first they beat me up nicely. You were not there Then I carried the cross. You were not there Then I went up to the cross. You know, I'm going to die You know that I've told you this before but I went on the mountain They put they crucified me still you were not there I was crying in pain and bitterness taking the whole sins of the world. The least I expect is you to be there You were not there Peter. What is this? Did Jesus say that What did Jesus say Peter Are you ready to take the ministry ahead? Did Jesus look at what he didn't do or did Jesus look at what he can do Jesus looked at what he can do We when we look at Peter. He's a normal fisherman. He's good at catching fish But when Jesus looks at Peter, he's going to be the leader of the church In the national when people look at us. Oh, I'm just from the village Or I'm just you know, I don't know anything in media. I don't know any instrument I don't know how to sing. I don't understand how to read the word of God. I don't do this. I don't know this We may have many thoughts that way But when Jesus sees us, what does he see? He says hey, this is what I have a plan for you Bigger plan. This is what I want you to do Of course, there's there's hard work. There's dedication. There's Practice there's reading all of that we have to do but that's the plan that God has So you and I are in union with Christ Don't let the devil make you feel That you're unworthy He will make you feel that way but don't let him make you feel He'll say ah, you didn't pray today You didn't read the word. That's why you fell into temptation. That is true That may be true But it does not change this identity That when the Holy Spirit Comes inside us. We are in union with Christ I say Paul writes in Corinthians. He says do not grieve the Holy Spirit With whom you have been marked Do not make the Holy Spirit sad He's there talk to him Speak to him nowadays everyone put those earphones, you know You don't know who they're talking to So no problem. You also can keep talking so many times many many times. I'll be walking. I'll be driving riding Just doing something. I'll be I'll be talking to the Holy Spirit Holy Spirit Today, this is what I want to do. This is where I'm feeling very weak today Holy Spirit, this is what I you know, I was reading today's word It said like this. I didn't understand. Can you tell me what it is? Or if I have to make decisions for the church, it's very important decisions. Holy Spirit What should I do? Should I wait? Should I do it now? Speak to the Holy Spirit And he will speak back. He will minister to us Right, that's that's that's why he's there. He's not there just for us to say, okay, I am with one badge I have the Holy Spirit inside me. That is not the point The point is he wants to minister to us and you'll learn more in the Holy Spirit class Okay, so let's go to the next chapter when we become believers Spiritually we are one with Jesus first Corinthians 6 17 Let's read that first Corinthians 6 17 But all is one spirit with him Let's read that again. It's not clear enough. Go ahead Gertrude But he but he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him Yeah, thank you. So he who is joined with the Lord is one spirit with him Okay, how many of you are joined with the Lord? Some of you aren't joined with the Lord We're all joined with the Lord. So we have one spirit with him Yes, is the spirit of Jesus with with you? Yes Is Jesus here? Yes Is he inside us? Yes So we have one spirit with him Now when we are one spirit with him now in the natural nobody know nobody can see it and the spiritual Jesus is with us If you look at the New Testament and we read all through the scriptures We see that the Holy Spirit is referred to many names The spirit of truth the spirit of Jesus the spirit of conviction Right so many names, but they're all one person one spirit right When as new creations our spirits are united with him Spiritually, we are connected with him and we are one with him So right now We are connected to Jesus Right imagine Jesus inside us Speaking to us the same Jesus that we are reading about We are connected to him We have we use this word. No, I have many connections around You know, I know many people have many connections. How one call you get the work done Right, so here also one call to Jesus Jesus, this is the problem or this is what I'm facing He's there you're connected to him And he is connected to you The problem is if I have if I have a problem and I don't ask him And I'm trying to ask everybody else other than Jesus. What happens? Jesus is going to keep quiet Hey, when is he going to ask me He's asking everybody else. He's not asking me He's asking all his other connections, but he's not asking me Right So we must understand that you know, many times believers and people they come and ask us as pastors they ask us, you know, why I'm not able to why am I not able to Uh, you know spend more time in God's word. Why am I not able to pray genuine questions? the thing is our mind and our our our life is Towards the things of this world I'm not saying that we should not work. It's very important to work Look after family, but we must always stay connected with him What does John say? Abide in me Stay in me And then you will bear fruit Right when we abide in him and we're connected to him. He becomes spiritually one with him So when we are one with him praying worship reading God's word, it's not a task Right, it doesn't become a task now. How many of you You know, you have brothers and sisters and you really love your brothers and sisters or your cousins all of it And you all have a get together. You have those You know a program or a get together Will you be tired of talking to your cousins? Okay, keep talking. You know what happened this happened. You know what happened that happened Continuously you'll talk One or two hours two days three days There are things to talk. Why because you're you're also connected to each other, right? You're like cousins You're our brothers and sister Love each other but when it's God it's different. Why because we are Losing the connection Jesus is there So when we are passionate, we know that Jesus is you know, we are passionate about and we love them Love the Lord Jesus Prayer worship reading God's word will not be a task It'll not be a task So initially Remember, you know, this is a wake up at five a.m. And pray And all of them used to be oh man, not five o'clock in the morning. Who's gonna wake up? True naturally you don't wake up But if you think of it for me, it was like Me and a few other of my classmates some of the guys hey five o'clock. We can start talking to God And I can speak to Jesus He's there with me. So I will be waiting So from five o'clock we move the parade of four a.m That is not enough From four a.m. To three a.m. So me and My couple of friends or my friends two of them and me three a.m. We should wake up Are we supposed to pray? students We used to pray and pray Three four five o'clock then all the other students will get up for prayer We would have finished prayer Or be fully ready Five and five to six. We'll pray get ready come to bible college And then go through the whole day whole class again do the same thing We did that for two years straight Now is it a task? Oh How to do What is this Five a.m rule So if it's a it's a task when we don't enjoy being in God's presence But if we enjoy something It's not a task Let's get an union with him right This morning Last night I said to myself. Oh, I'm too tired. I'm not gonna wake up for prayer. Well, let me just get up at You know a little later and pray. It's okay. You know, it's okay to do those every now once in a while It's okay to it's important to get to rest. So I said, okay, I'll rest, you know You know, we keep using the laptop. We keep meeting people hearing people people's problems difficulties and Oh, there's so much that happens in ministry, right? Things to do in the church And and so much of preparation to be done. So I said, okay, I'm going to rest I said, I'm going to get up at seven o'clock in the morning And then I'll pray and then I'll get ready and I'll come So I I said, uh, so I I told myself I'm not going to wake up early. Let me get some good rest I open my eyes. It's 2 45 a.m What to do three o'clock right Because 2 45 got up. I said, okay, let me try and sleep again. But then Jesus is waiting It becomes a passion becomes a desire It's no more about You know, it's no more about oh man. I don't want to do this. No one with him And you'll want to know more of him He'll desire more of him And it'll it'll just be an outflow When you begin to you know preach and teach and lead the worship it's an outflow of his spirit He will begin to move His anointing will touch people's lives Why? Because he spent time in his presence So I have a question. Let's read Yes, go ahead. Go through Pastor, you know when Jesus was resurrected. He said I'm going to be with the father And I will send the spirit with you will be your counselor Now they say that we have to pray in the spirit Uh to the holy spirit But that means we have to pray through the holy spirit to Jesus and our father together Okay, so it's it's not like that go to go to say you will learn more in bread and intercession But let me just answer your question. So the holy spirit Is inside us and the holy spirit When when we are praying in tongues, we are praying In an unknown tongue. We are speaking the mysteries of God, right? So does our spirit speaking to God right and It's not like we have to pray to the father one way to the spirit Holy to Jesus one way to the spirit one way. No See they all three are one, but they have different essence Yes, right So the holy spirit is there with us right now Jesus is there with us. Of course, we know that Jesus is seated at the right hand of the father But the holy spirit is also the spirit of Jesus. It's the same person Right, so you can pray to the father you can pray to the son You can pray to the holy spirit. You can mix it up. You can You can pray, right? We don't have to worry about okay. This prayer point should go to the father This prayer point goes it's not that way, right? So you can see the holy spirit sometimes, you know, the holy spirit will help us to pray We don't want to pray We we cannot pray or we are tired. We are weary the holy spirit helps us to pray He puts words he reminds us of things that we can pray about, right? It need not be only speaking in tongues, but he can he can remind us He can say, hey, you pray for this person or you pray for this City pray for this nation pray for this church right, so The point is prayer Is to one person That is to God and who's God It's one God three in essence Right, so yeah, thank you. Thank you. Most welcome. Yeah And there are many facets to prayer. You'll learn more on that in the next semester as well All right, let's read first Corinthians chapter 6 13 15 19 and 20 Let's go ahead Now the body is for the Lord and the Lord for the body That's a little louder. No so that they can hear Do you not know that your body some members of Christ Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the holy spirit Who is in you whom you have from God and you're not your own For you were bought at a price therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are gods So this is a powerful verse. What is Paul saying now the body is for the Lord And the Lord is for the body Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Right when we become believers we are in union with Christ. We are members of Christ Verse 19 very important or do you not know that your body is the temple of the holy spirit Now Paul is using an uh, you know, he's using a typology here typology means like he's In the old testament there was a temple You got the outer coats inner coats most holy place And the most holy place was the presence of God where There were you know, his presence would stay now Jesus is Paul is saying Your body is that temple The temple of the holy spirit and the holy spirit is there inside right Who is in you whom you have from God and you are not of your own This body Physical body God has given us but it is not on our own not of our own. Why because the holy spirit is seated inside We have the temple of the holy spirit verse 20 for you were bought at a price therefore glorify God in your body your spirit So when we become believers when we become one with Christ every part of us Becomes one with him So i've said this before right we have a body In our body we have a spirit Spirit has a soul Right so for example The soul is our mind our will our emotions Right if somebody passes away somebody dies What happens Do does our body pain But our soul is Paining We feel so sad we feel so burdened We weep we cry Right it's it's our emotions. It's a part of our soul If we are you know, we get a good job. What happens? The person who gave you the job didn't give you a job because you look good They gave the job because you're able to do the work So when you get a job, you're excited you're happy I got the job. That's again your emotions Then you got your mind We the way we think The the things that we do our mind our will and our emotion. That's our soul Then we have our spirit now our spirit Will live eternally when we die our spirit is what goes to heaven Right our spirit this body is gone. Nothing is left The spirit If if we if we say, you know, we took look at a person say, what is your name? Your name is david. Okay david Who are you? You ask a person named david. Okay david. Who are you? David will say I am From here I'm from this family. I was brought up in this nation And as I grew up I grew up as a believer. I speak these languages Yeah, that is his Outward thing But actually david is spirit He's a spirit being without the spirit the body is of no use What is the body? It's nothing So paul is writing here. He's saying The lord jesus can touch us and transform us The holy spirit can minister to us in our mind That is our spirit soul and our body How many of you you're you know, you're singing you're praying you're worshiping god And suddenly you feel a coolness in your body Or you feel a heat Just the fire of god cupping upon you. It's god ministering Or sometimes we are burdened and very sad Right and you pray and we we work, you know, we spend time in god's presence Suddenly you feel like you're only you know, all the weight has gone off Feel very light inside But you may be the same weight physically But inside Some weight the burden is taken off Right the word weight. Where is it gone off from from the spirit? That pain that hurt Or maybe unforgiveness that we are carrying it's gone off. It's from the spirit Right and then god is also able to speak to us through our Mind and our will he can speak to us right through the holy spirit To be in christ is to be born of him To be immersed in him to be in union with him and to be one with him spiritually Right everyone say one with jesus Sounds nice, no imagine. We are one with him He's there He's willing to listen to us Jesus is the the the holy spirit is not going to force us to do something He will not But he's waiting. What does jesus say ask it will be given to you You seek And you will find you know and the door will be open So it's something that we have to do He's done the work But if we want to grow in union with him Learn to be good believers strong believers We have to do the work of spending time In his presence Okay, any questions any thoughts Everyone understanding Have a question. Let's give the mic to after we phone We have a whole spirit in childhood or not Oh, sorry. Can you repeat that after we born after we born? Yes. Yes. We have Holy spirit in childhood or not? No So see the bible says we are born in sin Right In the natural we are born in sin. Do you teach a child how to lie? Which how can a three-year-old four-year-old child lie? Lie is a sin Did you take the chocolate? No, I didn't take Who taught the child to lie nobody thought the sin nature is there already right but When we become believers that sin nature is removed So when so to answer your question when we are born we are born In the natural spirit the spirit that we have Right and not not the holy spirit Is that okay? Okay Right, let's go to chapter 15 Um, quite a few of this may be repeated, but let's look at it, right? We become new creatures in our spirit. So we talked about this Our old self is gone away. We become new people first Thessalonians chapter 5 verses 23 Yes, go ahead Now may the God of peace himself sentify you completely and may You whole spirit soul and body preserve blameless and the coming of Our lord Jesus Christ Right. Thank you. So I just saw this joseph has a question. The question is the holy The holy spirit was made for us or we were made for the holy spirit. So The holy spirit was not so joseph to answer your question the holy spirit was not made God is the holy spirit and the bible says that before the creation of the world God existed Right, so the holy spirit was there from beginning genesis chapter 1 What does what does it say let us make a man? Who's the us The god is alone. Who's the us? So the holy spirit was there from the beginning before the foundations of the world God was there The holy spirit was there Right. Okay. So first Thessalonians 5 23 now may the god of peace himself Sanctify you completely and make your make your whole spirit soul and body We preserve blameless for the coming of our lord jesus christ, right? So this verse reveals our try part being everyone say three Try part three, right? What is it one spirit? soul and body we have a spirit We have a soul and that we have a body. This is just a vessel the body creeper Each of us have our spirit beings Each of us have a soul and we live in a body the soul includes our mind our will our emotions our thinking Our reasoning all of that The body is the house we that we live in and the real person inside us is the spiritual being Now, what does the verse say? May god may the god of peace sanctify you completely. What is the word sanctify? Sanctified means Come on. We did this Set apart made holy, right? So basically the verse may the god of peace Make you holy in your Pre-part being in your body your spirit and your soul So we may ask a question. How can my soul be holy? Yes now We are here This imagination our thinking our or our thoughts can go anywhere Yes or no We can think of anything, but we can physically be in that in one place Right Why is it and you learn more in temptations and you learn all of that? Why is it that Good believers fall into temptation and they get into bondages. Why? They know their believers. They know the holy spirit is inside, but the mind is very weak What about people who are in drugs people who are alcoholic addicted to pornography? Living a sexually immoral life. Why is it they know it's wrong? But why they're not able to stop it because the mind is weak The devil puts things in in the mind You watch this nothing will happen Later you ask forgiveness Or you you you say this Right, nobody is there to see you or you do this Nobody will know it's a secret. I will not tell anybody Now this is all the devil's work Right, but the bible says The god of peace wants to make us whole make us holy not only in our In our spirit, but in our thinking in our body as well How do we keep our my emotions our soul holy? Think of the right things Align our thinking to the word of god When temptation comes you say no, I have the mind of christ The wisdom of god is formed inside me. I will not fall into this trap right Temptations are in different stages. I don't want to go into that But the more you allow it it'll go from stage one to stage two States three stage four and then there will be You know, we'll come at the same So in stage one itself We need to rebuke it and throw it away Right, so we can use this was No God has said he wants me to be holy In my body my spirit and soul so I will not Fall into this temptation I rebuke the things of the devil In jesus name. I command the thoughts to get out of my body Get out of my mind in jesus name. What are you doing? Speaking the word of god You're declaring that you are not an old creation, but you are a new creation Ephesians 4 22 and 24 and Says that you put off Concerning your former conduct The old man which grows corrupt according to deceitful lusts and be renewed in the spirit of your mind And you put on the new man Which was created to god in true righteousness and holiness now? This is where many believers fail. I like that word put on and put off How many of you have worn a jacket? We want to own a jacket, right? So we get ready we look outside. Oh the weather is cold. What do we do? We put on the jacket We put it on You can't say jacket come on And it won't come on Right, we have to put on the jacket Now during the day it becomes hot. What do you say? Oh, man, it's getting hot We have to put off the jacket Now I can't say oh, it's hot. It's hot. It's hot and keep wearing the jacket Whose fault is it? My problem If you tell your friend, hey, it's very hot. No, what will your friend say then take out your jacket? simple The bible here paul is talking even in Colossians. He writes about things that you have to put on and put off He says here you put on the things of god Righteousness justification sanctification everything you put it on You wear it on yourself Nobody nobody will come and put it on you. You have to put it on in your daily walk of life Then you put off things of the flesh Anger jealousy pride Lust of the eyes lust of the flesh Things that are worldly things that can corrupt us Can make us sin you take it off You're getting what i'm saying Right, you put all the things of god and put off the things of the flesh And that work we have to do right Many believers, you know, why do we struggle with carnal thinking still living in fleshly Ways it is because we have not put off the things Inside us for it is new But he's still thinking Our our reasoning when we look at people we get angry if somebody does something we have there's unforgiveness. Why? Because we've not removed the old The old jacket has not been taken off And we're trying to put the new one, but it's not fitting because the still the old one is there So paul is saying you take off the old one Put on the new jacket Put on the things of god And then we do that Now we'll talk more about this when we do that we will be walking In in holiness in our body spirit and soul So shall we do that? Will we do that all of us, right? We may have certain areas of challenges certain areas of Difficulties that we may be going through But god knows what you're going through Right Whatever it is Today you can go back to god and say god I don't want to keep wearing this old self Help me to wear The new self my new jacket helped me to put on you in my life We have to do that Right All right. All right, so we'll stop here. We will continue the next class. Thank you everyone. Thank you to the students online Thank you for joining God bless
